In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.

“People get nothing out of books but what they bring to them.”
“A critic recently described me, with deadly acuteness, as having 'a kindly dislike of my fellow-creatures.' Perhaps dread would have been nearer the mark than dislike; for man is the only animal of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.”
“I like flowers, I also like children, but I do not chop their heads off and keep them in bowls of water around the house.”

“Many, who should know better, think that wars can be decided by soulless machines, rather than by the blood and anguish of brave men.”
“Any fool can fight a winning battle, but it needs character to fight a losing one, and that should inspire us; which reminds me that I dreamed the other night that I was being hanged, but was the life and soul of the party.”
“I don't want to be in a battle. But waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse.”
More on Motivation
“I live to succeed, not to please you or anyone else.”
“Economists and workplace consultants regard it as almost unquestioned dogma that people are motivated by rewards, so they don't feel the need to test this. It has the status more of religious truth than scientific hypothesis. The facts are absolutely clear. There is no question that in virtually all circumstances in which people are doing things in order to get rewards, extrinsic tangible rewards undermine intrinsic motivation.The bonus myth: How paying for results can backfire The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”
“People always tell you, 'Be humble. Be humble.' When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!”
